Gustav Möller has just completed shooting of his new psychological thriller Vogter, produced by Nordisk Film. For Vogter, Möller reunited with producer Line Flint, co-writer Emil Nygaard Albertsen, and cinematographer Jasper J. Spanning, the team that created his multi-awarded debut The Guilty (2018).

Danish star actress Sidse Babette Knudsen (Borgen, Wildland) plays the idealistic prison guard Eva, who is caught in the dilemma of her life when a young man from her past is placed in the prison where she works. Without revealing her secret, Eva asks to be moved to the young man’s ward, the toughest and most violent ward in the prison. There, an electrifying and unpredictable psychological game starts between them, where Eva’s sense of justice puts both her morality and future at stake.

The Danish theatrical release via Nordisk Film Distribution is scheduled for February 29, 2024.

Before commencing his screenwriting career, Alexander Havelda graduated with a masters in international politics and political philosophy and began a path towards diplomacy. However, feeling increasingly drawn to storytelling, Havelda started working as a ghost writer for debate articles, and as a copywriter.

Meanwhile Havelda worked with Burkinabé-French filmmaker Dani Kouyaté for many years, learning how to write for film from him. He then decided to focus whole-heartedly on his screenwriting and has since developed and sold numerous projects to different production companies. In 2022, the comedy drama TV Series Korridoren premiered on C More, of which Havelda is creator and writer.

2021 saw the premiere of Havelda’s Czech short Can You Still Feel the Butterflies?, which has been screened at a multitude of festivals and exhibitions and won prestigious awards.

In his writing, Havelda likes to play with crude humor, balancing on the edge of what is taboo, often with an undertone of political and existential elements.

Havelda is currently working on two drama TV series with Unlimited Stories, a feature film with Jan Marnell and Right2Screen, and a comedy TV series with Toni Prince (Språk för alla).

Imagine a world without experts. A bit of a relief to do without all of the know-it-alls and mansplainers, right? But if all of the experts suddenly disappeared, you’d probably feel a bit lost. After all, the experts are the ones that lead you in the right direction. They’re helpful when you want to inspect a suspicious birth mark, get your driver’s license, or check the weather forecast for the weekend.
